@dustinfinn Local storage is cheap and a one time expense. Have a laptop, get a usb external ssd. Have a desktop, get either a ssd or hdd. Even better would be stop supporting the fucking OS that keeps trying to milk you. You wouldn't pay for adware, yet people keep paying for Windows. Instead of spending time complaining about you OS, spend even of fraction of that time learning something else. Try out something link Linux Mint or Fedora; they work right out of the box.
